4.1.2 Principles of trusses

The basic shape of the truss is triangular,Small Playground Equipment Cheap Water Playground for Amusement Park (HF-001), unlike shapes with more than three angles.

4.1.Mini Car Fridge, Small Commercial Refrigerator Ce RoHS AC DC Hot Cold-by-step approach

PE-F500-3015 Metal Fiber Laser Cutting Machine with Ce, the supporting elements required by the roof-cover material must be taken into account.

In the case of FCR/MCR pantiles, a supporting structure with a 40 cm wide spacing is needed.

Since the upright structural parts of any building (walls, columns) have a larger span, a roof structure is required to span horizontally. The principle is to divide the large span of the vertical structure step by step to provide the required spacing for the roof cover elements.

1. Step

A primary structure consisting of, for example, trusses or beams, is placed where the distance between walls is smallest (L 2). These trusses or beams are placed at regular intervals, forming gaps (L 3) which are shorter than the span L 2.

2. Step

A secondary, finer structure (e.g. ridge beams and purlins) is laid dividing the gaps further (L 4).

In smaller buildings, the primary structure may not be required; the secondary structure can be placed immediately.

In some cases, the spacing in the primary structure (L 3) may be smaller than the span of the secondary structure (L 4), but the roof area carried by subsequent structural members become smaller and smaller.

3. Step

Smart Watch with Heart Rate Monitor and Bluetooth K89. rafters with the spacing L 5.

4. Step

By laying the last element (battens), the spacing (L 6) required for the cover elements is reached.

In the case of FCR/MCR tiles, the last element of the structure (battens) must be laid in a horizontal direction.

4.1.4 Detail principles

First large, then small members

The above-described principle of reducing the span step-by-step has the following consequences:

The primary structure carries the highest load and is hence the strongest, i.e. heaviest member.

The secondary structure and all subsequent members carry less and less load and are therefore lighter and finer.

Therefore, structural members are placed in decreasing order of size, large to small.

Laying of rectangular beams

Beams of a rectangular section are laid with the larger dimension in the vertical direction and the smaller dimension in the horizontal direction. In this way the load bearing capacity is greater.

4.1.5 Bracing

The function of bracing is to prevent horizontal movements in the roof structure caused by winds, earthquake or other horizontal forces.

The principle of bracing is usually based on triangulation.Competitive Portable Galvanized Prefabricated Steel Structure Frame Aircraft Hangar(a) or in an inclined position along the rafters (b).

The horizontal forces must be led down to the foundation along the walls. Therefore the walls must be unbending or be reinforced by vertical bracing.

4.1.6 Special forms of primary structure

A single main truss

In some cases it may be economical to lay a main truss (girder) along the longer span of a rectangular shape. The advantage is that only one single truss, although a heavier one, is required to support the secondary structure.

(Best Price) 15mm, 18mm Formwork Plywood/Marine Plywood.

Frame trusses

For the construction of large buildings, halls etc., frame trusses can be used.Wholesales Personal Ozone Generator for Air Freshener.

Spanning in two directions

High Quality Ultrasonic Humidifier with Rainbow LED Night Light, it may be appropriate to lay the primary structure in two directions.Customized Design Jungle Themed Soft Indoor Playground Slide, when beams or slab reinforcements are laid in two directions.

Another possibility is the three-dimensional truss construction (spatial truss).Metal Interlocking Padded Church Furniture Chapel Chair for Sale,Factory-Direct Micro Precision Automatic Lathe Turning Parts with ISO 9001 Quality Level.

Based on the data in Chapter 2.3, the magnitude of the uplifting forces can be determined. In general anchorage which is at least three brick courses deep and placed at intervals of 2 m is sufficient.

In the case of lightweight walls there must be an anchorage into the foundations.

b) Bracing

Winds naturally have a strong horizontal load component on roofs. These forces must also be transmitted down to the walls and foundations. This may be possible by means of firm connections between the structural members or by firm gable walls.

A more secure and therefore recommended method is the use of bracing.

At the point where bracing is connected to the walls, concentrated forces occur. These forces must be transmitted along the walls to the foundations.Square Cotton Linen Comfortable Luxury Cotton Linen Throw Pillow Cushion.

c) Ring beam

A ring beam (tie beam) is a continuous beam at the top of the wall.

It provides a solid base on which wall plates or rafters can be anchored. In areas where extremely strong winds can be expected, the ring beam can be supplemented by columns, forming a framed structure.

Such structures are usually made of reinforced concrete.

Influence of roof pitch

Wind causes suction on the lee-side of the roof with a danger of the roof lifting off. In addition to proper anchorage, an increased roof pitch can reduce this danger of damage. In general, the steeper a roof, the less is the suction force caused by winds.

Shape of the roof

The edges (ridge, eaves, verge) of the roof are more susceptible to wind than the surface. The most critical parts are the verge and the mono-pitched ridge. Therefore for wind safety the preferred roof shape is the hipped roof. Gable roofs or mono-pitched roofs are disadvantageous.

(also see Chapter 3)

4.2.2 Earthquakes

Earthquakes occur mainly in well known zones around the globe. In these areas special precautions have to be taken.

Seismic waves comprise horizontal, vertical and torsional (twisting) movements. Weak, non-elastic components break apart, elastic materials vibrate and absorb the tremors; while tough and rigid materials can remain unaffected.

c) Flexible structure

3D CNC High Density Foam Cutter Expandable Polystyrene Cutting Machine. The building is deformed during tremors and returns to the original shape afterwards. Small roofing elements such as tiles can adjust to such movements, whereas larger elements such as sheets would probably break.

d) Stiff structure

Truck Paint Booth for Construction Equipment Paint Spray Booth Portable Industrial Paint Booth. This results in dynamic forces which demand a firm construction.

Concrete structures, frame structures and properly braced roof structures are appropriate means.

e) Independent roof support

Alternatively, the roof structure can be fixed to independent supports which are structurally separate from the walls. In the case of the walls collapsing, the roof remains unaffected.

As each ring forms a new band of "active" sapwood, starch is extracted from an inner sapwood ring, adding further to the "inactive" heartwood core. Mechanically there is hardly any difference between sapwood and heartwood, but sapwood is usually lighter in colour and contains substances (e.g. starch, sugar, water) which attract fungi and certain insects.

Soft and hardwood

Carnival Shopping Street Style Kids Toy Storage Cabinet Combination (HJ-6402). There are different methods of distinguishing these woods, but the most common definition is that hardwoods comes from broad-leaved trees, i.e. tropical evergreen and temperate deciduous trees which shed their leaves annually. Softwoods generally come from coniferous (cone-bearing) trees, commonly known as evergreens and found mainly in temperate zones. The differentiation is only in botanical terms, not in mechanical properties, as some hardwoods (e.g. balsa) are much softer than most softwoods.

There are many other methods of classifying woods, and the definitions often differ between from region to region. For instance in West-Africa the terms "red wood"I12 Tws 5.0 Touch Control Wireless Headphone Bluetooth Headset Earphone for Cell Phone"white wood"New Design 4*2 Street Cleaning Machine Sweeping Truck with Brushes.

Knots

The strength of beams can be greatly reduced by knots,Water Bottle Travel Bottle Vacuum Flask Double Wall Stainless Steel Flask (FSB017).

For example, a knot 1/3 of the beam height and situated on the upper side of the beam between the supporting points reduces its strength by up to 35%. If the knot is situated on the lower side of the beam, the reduction is even up to 56% !

This weakening effect depends much on the growth characteristics of the knot, i.e. how well it is grown into the adjoining wood.

a) Battens only (up to 1 m or 1.5 m span between gable walls)

Popular Banquet Wedding Plastic Resin Transparent Clear Napoleon Chair. This is possible for very small buildings, e.g. toilets or small annexes like porches.

b) Rafter and batten (up to 4 m span between walls at eaves)

For small buildings with a span of up to approx. 4 m, the use of rafters placed directly from wall to wall is possible. This results in a mono-pitched roof.

The span between gable walls is arbitrary. The maximum spacing between rafters is 1 m - 1.5 m.

c) Purlin and rafter (up to 5 m span between gable walls or other supporting structure)

For medium-sized buildings purlins can be used to support the rafters. This allows a free span between gable walls of up to 5 m.

The span between the walls of eaves can be enlarged by introducing additional purlins. This, however, leads to very high ridges.

e) Truss, purlin and rafter

Large buildings can be roofed with conventional trussed structures. The span between gable walls is arbitrary, whereas the span of the trusses can be between 5 and 12 m.

Overview

50-500tph Mine Stone Crusher Machine for Sand Making Machine. The main elements are:

Wall plates - these are fixed on to the wall to receive the lower end of the rafters.

Purlins and ridge beams - horizontal members providing intermediate support to rafters.

Rafters - similar to beams but inclined.

Battens - the last component of the structure, laid horizontally to give direct support to the cover material.

Bracing is additionally required where the structure is not firm enough.

For larger spans additional trusses are required to support the roof.

Special detailing is required in the case of hipped roofs and valley constructions.

Wall plates

Function

Wall plates are the elements that connect the roof structure to the walls and distributes the load uniformly.

They are supported throughout by the wall and do not span a large distance. If there is no supporting wall but only columns,11oz Manufactures of Ceramic Mug Customised Sublimation Cup for Sublimation Wholesale.

The dimensions are thus determined not by static requirements but by the requirements for proper jointing etc.

Fixing

The wall plates must be securely fixed to the wall to prevent uplift of the roof by wind suction.

For example, hooped iron straps may be placed at 2 m intervals along the wall and reaching at least 3 courses below the wall plate as shown in the figure opposite.

Wholesale Customized Packing PP Onion Potatoes Garlic Packing Bags. While split bamboo may be treated by soaking in a bath, whole bamboo culms require special methods:

Replacing the sap with a preservative solution, by allowing the solution to slowly flow from one end of the culm to the other, forcing the sap out. When the sap has flowed out, the excess preservative solution can be collected and reused. The process (Custom Aluminum PCB Enclosure/ Prototyping Producer CNC /Machining/ Milling for Smart Lock Part"Boucherie" method) takes 5 days, but can be reduced to a few hours by pressure treatment.

Immersing the lower portion of freshly cut culms (which with their leaves), in a preservative solution which is drawn up the capillary vessels by the transpiration of the leaves. This method (Metal Aluminum Stainless Steel Iron Laser Cutting Equipment"steeping") only works with fairly short culms, as the liquid may not rise to the top of long culms.

Completely immersing green bamboo for about 5 weeks in open tanks filled with a preservative solution. By scratching the outer skin or splitting the culms, the soaking period can be reduced. Altering hot and cold immersions can shorten the process and make it more effective.

4.4.3 Metal structures

General

Metal is usually a rather expensive material for building structures and is in most cases imported. Building with metal requires special tools and equipment. Until recently, it has only been used in cases where large free spans were required such as in halls and high prestige buildings.

Today,New Design Wrought Iron Leisure Swing for Outdoor and Balcony, metal structures are becoming more and more a competitive alternative in roof construction.

Metals used in construction are divided into two main groups:

Ferrous metals: irons and steels

Non-ferrous metals: aluminium (Al), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), nickel (Ni), tin (Sn) and zinc (Zn).

For structural components, mainly steel, mild steel and in some cases aluminium are used.

Steels are all alloys of iron with a carbon content of between 0.05 and 1.5%, and with additions of manganese, silicon, chromium, nickel and other components, depending on the required quality and use.

Mild steels, with 0.15 to 0.25% carbon, are the most widely used and versatile of all metals. They are strong, ductile and suitable for rolling and welding, but not for casting.

Aluminium is the third most common element, but difficult to recover as a metal, involving a very high energy input and high costs. It is the lightest metal, is strong, has a high resistance to corrosion, high thermal and electrical conductivity, and good heat and light reflectivity. Aluminium and its alloys have numerous applications in building construction, but their high costs and limited availability in most developing countries make them less suitable for structures.

Applications

Structural steel, mild steel and aluminium are available in hollow forms (round,Mold Design Automotive Tooling Plastic Injection Molding), rolled profiles and as sheets. These products can be used as individual elements such as columns, beams, joists, rafters, or in compound structures such as trusses, framed structures, spatial truss constructions and the like.

HP1020 Conveyor Type Steel Beam Shot Blasting Machine.

Steel members can be jointed by welding or by means of nut and bolt connections. Rivet connection is a technology which is no longer used in structures.

Corrosion is a typical problem of steel structures. An anti-rust paint is required,Hot Sell Fish Meal Fish Oil Equipment Fish Meal Rendering Plant. Parts that are exposed to moisture need periodical painting.

Proper galvanisation of the steel parts is a safe anti-corrosive measure. However, it is an expensive solution and the galvanisation process, if not properly carried out, has negative ecological side effects.

Galvanisation of welded structures is difficult in practice,Ms Steel Square Box/ Steel Rectangular Box / 7 Gauge Steel Square Tubing.

Aluminium does not require protection against corrosion. Welding aluminium is difficult, requires special equipment and skill. Therefore nut and bolt connections are usually used.

Advantages

Metal structures are highly accurate and constitute an even and stable under-structure suitable for tiles as well as for sheets or semi-sheets.

Most metals are strong and flexible, can be formed into any shape, are impermeable and durable.

Problems

High costs and limited availability of good quality metal products are problems in most developing countries. As a result, inferior products are supplied, e.g. extremely thin roofing sheets, insufficiently galvanised components.

Metal structures lose strength at high temperatures and tend to collapse during a fire,China Fitness Equipment Supplier Gym Exercise Machine Rotary Torso Sm-8010, although they are non-combustible. They, however, do not contribute fuel to a fire or assist in the spread of flames.

Most metals corrode. Ferrous metals corrode in the presence of moisture and certain sulphates and chlorides. Aluminium corrodes in an alkaline environments, and copper is corroded by mineral acids and ammonia. A number of metals are corroded by copper washings and corrosion by electrolytic action can occur when different metals come into contact with each other.

Some metals have toxic side effects, for instance: lead poisoning through lead water pipes or paints containing lead; toxicity caused by fumes when metals are welded which are coated with or based on copper, zinc, lead or cadmium.

4.4.4 Concrete structures

General

Concrete is a world-wide and abundantly-used material suitable for a large variety of applications. The essential components of concrete are cement, aggregate (sand, gravel) and water. When mixed in the correct proportions, these components produce a malleable mass, which can take the shape of any mould.

If tensile strength is required (beams, slabs, slender columns), concrete must be reinforced with steel bars or wire.

The main aspects that govern the quality of concrete are:

Careful selection of the type and proportion of the cement.

Clean, hard and well-graded aggregate must be used.

Correct water to cement ratio.

Proper mixing and immediate use of the mix.

Sufficient compacting after casting.

Curing after demoulding for at least 14 days.

Good Quality CNC Metal Plasma Cutting Machine with Cheap Price. To increase the load-bearing capacity,48V/500W Motor & 16ah Lithium Battery Electric Cargo Bike for Take-out (JB-TDN03Z).

Applications

Concrete elements are usually composed of relatively large sections with high-load bearing capacities. In roof construction they are used as main (primary) structural elements (beams, girders, frame structures). Other materials are used for the finer structural parts (battens, etc.).

Reinforced concrete, also known as RCC (reinforced cement concrete), incorporates steel bars in those concrete sections which are under tension. The steel bars supplement the low tensile strength of plain concrete and help to control thermal cracking and shrinkage. RCC is used in floor slabs, beams, lintels, columns, stairways, frame structures, elements with large spans, and angular or curved shell structures. These are all cast in situ or precast. The high strength to weight ratio of steel, coupled with the fact that its coefficient of thermal expansion is about the same as that of concrete, makes it the ideal material for reinforcement. Where bars with ribs are available,Anti Slip Garage PVC Plastic Floor Rolls Carpet Flooring Mats, as they are far more effective than smooth bars. In this way up to 30% steel can be saved.

This is essentially a factory operation requiring expensive, special equipment (jacks, anchorage, pre-Custom Colored ABS 3D Printing Parts Electronics Parts 3D Printing Plastic ABS Parts, etc.) and not suitable for inexpensive housing.

Advantages

Concrete can be made into any shape and can reach high compressive strengths.

Reinforced concrete combines high compressive strength with high tensile strength,PVC Coated Colorful Ball Locked Stainless Steel Cable Ties. It is ideally suited for the prefabrication of components and for construction in dangerous conditions (earthquake zones, unstable soils, etc.).

Properly-produced concrete is extremely durable, maintenance-free, resistant to moisture and chemical action, to fire, insects, and fungal attack.

In many areas concrete has a high prestige value.

Problems

Cement, steel and moulds are usually expensive.

Quality control on building sites is difficult. If the concrete is incorrectly mixed or cast and compacted, or insufficiently cured with water, there is a risk of cracking and gradual deterioration. Quality control is only possible with a well-trained team and close supervision.

In humid climates or coastal regions, corrosion of reinforcement is possible if it is insufficiently covered. This can lead to expansion cracks.

Concrete is only fire resistance up to about 500·C. At this temperature steel reinforcement is no longer effective. After fire, RCC structures usually have to be demolished.
